You need to increase soffit venting and maybe add a whirlybird or two. Without doing those and instead adding a powered fan, you will be putting your attic in a negative pressure and start sucking conditioned air from inside your home from around every light fixture and crack.
Great tips. Thank you. Looking into two whirlybirds now instead.
Went around my house and calculated the amount of available intake, and it’s severely lacking under what is recommended for my attic size. So definitely will be installing some vents as well.
Double checked in the attic, and we have nothing for the air to exit.
